Is it really this bad? Let’s face it, America is a failed state. For African Americans, America has always been a failed state because when White America is doing well, it’s at the expense of Black people. America and the rest of the White/Anglo-Saxons/European nations love to view places like Sudan, Syria, Darfur, Afghanistan, Iraq, and other Brown nations across the globe in crisis as failed states.

Are Executive Orders the will of the people?

In a potential sign of the hurdles to come, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) sent a warning shot during one of his first floor speeches back in the minority. Republicans, he warned, were willing to work with Biden but also wouldn’t be shy about blocking bills they don’t support. Because of the 60-vote legislative filibuster, Democrats will need at least 10 GOP senators to pass most things.

A voice speaking a bit of truth.

Heather Higgins, chairwoman of the Independent Women’s Forum, suggested that the left’s current narrative of “unity” is coming across to the other side as being asked to “accept guilt” and “shut up.”

“There’s a lot of ‘we need to unify,’” Higgins told Jan Jekielek, host of The Epoch Times’ American Thought Leaders program on Jan. 20. “That’s the language now.”

But she said the unity they’re talking about is “‘you need to accept guilt for anything that we say that you need to accept guilt for,’ even if you’re not guilty; ‘you need to shut up, and you just need to go along with and comply with our point of view,’” Higgins pointed out. “Which is extremely unhealthy.” Heather Higgins: Silencing People and Forcing Them to ‘Accept Guilt’ Not the Way to Unity (theepochtimes.com)

Project Engineering: Layout new ductwork. With a variable speed compressor the temperature drop in the ducts has a much greater affect on the performance. The reason is that the forced air temp can be just a few degrees above the room temperatures. (Meaning that a few degree change becomes a large percentage of the heat/cool capacity into the room.) I’ve doubled the insulation on the 6″ ducts since they had the greatest surface area per volume of air. I’ve also doubled the long trunk line to the Master Bedroom since it’s length and the two 6″ ducts were affecting the air significantly. I encased the 8″ duct to the kitchen inside a 12″ duct. (Pretty easy actually.) and ran it to the vent over the microwave. I also encased 25 Feet of 8″ duct inside a 12″ duct for my cave yesterday. Reminds me of a really old Star Trek…

Heat pump and ducts are working pretty well, I have the guest bathroom to fix. I measured the temperatures of the rooms and how they responded to the heat sent into them.

EF R600 has a pretty hefty self discharge?

I am uncertain of the cause, but I charged it to 80% and it dropped to 55% in less than a week. That’s pretty bad and I don’t know why….

---

The COVID numbers continue to be pretty high.

---

---

Narrative: I’m skipping the time bullets today. I’m up, where’s my coffee? I’ve checked the R600 Group and posted a comment to my buddy. I updated the COVID numbers on this page, they are getting much better. I paid some bills and looked over our car insurance policies. We’ve had to change our car insurance, they would not come down in price and we’ve had them like 10 years… Boo. Spent the afternoon working on buy a multitrack recorder to make a portable studio.

Feelings: As Christians we are compelled to look after the Widows and the poor. Just how we do that in this climate when there is so much energy fighting the democracy I don’t know.

CF called me Wednesday and we had a long conversation about their shortfalls. It was pretty much the same theme at the end of the day, I need to be patient with them. That was until I mentioned that I’ve not had consistent mail since 2017, then they back peddled some…

“On its first day in office, the Biden Administration cast aside congressionally enacted immigration laws and suspended the removal of illegal aliens whose removal is compelled by those very laws. In doing so, it ignored basic constitutional principles and violated its written pledge to work cooperatively with the State of Texas to address shared immigration enforcement concerns,” the lawsuit (pdf), filed in a federal district court in Texas, states. “This unlawful reversal will cause Texas immediate and irreparable harm if it is not enjoined.

Narrative: I’m skipping the time bullets today. I’m up, where’s my coffee? Checked out the R600 group, someone wanted to run a ~$1,400.00 1400W cappuccino machine on a single 24 volt battery box. He tried it and his expensive machine was damaged. I added up what we bought in Dec and Jan and we’ve discussed things to curb our spending. Spent an hour with the guys talking about getting the singers together and laying down some tracks. CF is still not where we want it to be and we’re unhappy. We did get a letter from one of our children today! Trip to the post office and stopped by Bruster’s for some Ice Crème.

My EcoFlow R600 needs to be repaired…

The COVID numbers continue to be pretty high.

Narrative: I’m skipping the time bullets today. Worked with another user with the EF R600 and his unit was wired correctly. In that discussion we decided to add a three prong to two prong adapter which provides a proper ground connection.

CF really upset me today, they have been putting me off all week and then Friday evening they claimed that it was too late to work my issues.

Mr. President: Title VII, also referred to as The Civil Rights Act of 1964, was passed to prohibit employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. All incredibly good and necessary things at an important time in American history. But the addition of gender or gender identity is hugely problematic as it will necessarily privilege men over women and boys over girls. Gender identity renders sex-based protections null and void, replacing them with what are essentially nothing more than protections for sex-role stereotypes.

Narrative: I’m skipping the time bullets today. We got a ton of letters on Sunday from CF but I’ve been unable to repair a couple of issues with them. My R600 wiring is crossed over between the input and output, they responded with a horrible answer.

Thank you for your support, and about the L and N pin, may connect reversely on the device or on the socket. When UPS mode, the power comes from your home grid directly to the appliance, so please be careful. and the DC at the same time will have a little shock risk. About the UL, we are still in the process, please note we will have a better solution in the future. Church tonight was a long process getting on Zoom, other than that it was fine.

Where’s UL?: There are so many products these days that are imitations and counterfeits that it’s impossible to know from a webpage what we are buying. Even products that are listed as UL approved are forgeries. I got a solar generator that the manual says UL approved, but the UL logo is not on the device. Worse the Line and Neutral are reversed on the output of the device. (Meaning if you turned the lamp off, the inside of the lamp is still live and I am talking about the large threaded part.)

Mr. President: you gave a speech about healing the nation’s divisiveness and a lot of your effort this week seems to be to “Cancel” Trump?

In a potential sign of the hurdles to come, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) sent a warning shot during one of his first floor speeches back in the minority. Republicans, he warned, were willing to work with Biden but also wouldn’t be shy about blocking bills they don’t support. Because of the 60-vote legislative filibuster, Democrats will need at least 10 GOP senators to pass most things.

A voice speaking a bit of truth.

Heather Higgins, chairwoman of the Independent Women’s Forum, suggested that the left’s current narrative of “unity” is coming across to the other side as being asked to “accept guilt” and “shut up.”

“There’s a lot of ‘we need to unify,’” Higgins told Jan Jekielek, host of The Epoch Times’ American Thought Leaders program on Jan. 20. “That’s the language now.”

But she said the unity they’re talking about is “‘you need to accept guilt for anything that we say that you need to accept guilt for,’ even if you’re not guilty; ‘you need to shut up, and you just need to go along with and comply with our point of view,’” Higgins pointed out. “Which is extremely unhealthy.” Heather Higgins: Silencing People and Forcing Them to ‘Accept Guilt’ Not the Way to Unity (theepochtimes.com)

Project Engineering: Layout new ductwork. With a variable speed compressor the temperature drop in the ducts has a much greater affect on the performance. The reason is that the forced air temp can be just a few degrees above the room temperatures. (Meaning that a few degree change becomes a large percentage of the heat/cool capacity into the room.) I’ve doubled the insulation on the 6″ ducts since they had the greatest surface area per volume of air. I’ve also doubled the long trunk line to the Master Bedroom since it’s length and the two 6″ ducts were affecting the air significantly. I encased the 8″ duct to the kitchen inside a 12″ duct. (Pretty easy actually.) and ran it to the vent over the microwave. I also encased 25 Feet of 8″ duct inside a 12″ duct for my cave yesterday. Reminds me of a really old Star Trek…

Heat pump and ducts are working pretty well, I have the guest bathroom to fix. I measured the temperatures of the rooms and how they responded to the heat sent into them.

The COVID numbers continue to be pretty high.

Narrative: I’m skipping the time bullets today. It’s about 6AM, writing in my blog and drinking a glass of orange juice. I checked the news and got me a cup of coffee to sip on while I work on this blog. Had a good church service and then we took a walk around the block. Did some more testing with my EcoFlow R600 Pro and I managed to get shocked today. I sent a message to their help desk and it may be a while before they respond.

Feelings: As Christians we are compelled to look after the Widows and the poor. Just how we do that in this climate when there is so much energy fighting the democracy I don’t know.

CF called me Wednesday and we had a long conversation about their shortfalls. It was pretty much the same theme at the end of the day, I need to be patient with them. That was until I mentioned that I’ve not had consistent mail since 2017, then they back peddled some…

Danger of Cancel Culture: If a congressperson votes on a bill that the position of their constituents is unpopular with a large corporation, they can pull the funding for that politician. (Because it risks their business position with the larger population and the cancel culture that would boycott their product on social media.) The politician then changes his view to save the carnage to his career from the loss of funding. The constituents then are left without proper representation by the person they voted for. That doesn’t sound good to me?

Researched Philippines Typhoons last month, they took a huge toll on the island. I watched several videos, 3-5 feet of water leaving 3-5″ of mud on everything inside their homes and on the streets. This will take a long time to clean up, I checked the Internet and they were pretty bad off. Homes and crops were destroyed and thousands are displaced without enough food or water. According to CNNCF they anticipate being back to normal by Jan 2021, They are not there yet.

Mr. President: I’ve helped the BP in the past and having a border with Mexico that a person can just walk between our countries brings the question why we have to go through 2 hr. immigration at our airports? A substantial number of people arriving across the border are unskilled and insolvent that will end up on Government assistance. They also have the potential to bring diseases not found in our country into the middle of our cities. We are 28Trillion dollars in debt (And climbing), one third of the people already here are Food insecure and becoming insolvent by the day. The COVID virus also doesn’t need any help.

Narrative: I’m skipping the time bullets today. It’s about 6AM, writing in my blog and drinking a glass of orange juice. I checked the news and got me a cup of coffee to sip on while I work on this blog. I added two sensors to my Home Assistant today so that I could get more information on the air distribution. I now have sensors in every room of the house and one in the bedroom register. I got my EcoFlow R600Pro today, I plugged it in to charge the batteries for a little while before testing it. I attached the unit to my wireless and I built an EcoFlow online account for it. When I tested the Inverter the light bulb flickered a bit more than I expected. I didn’t get much else done, the news is an elephant of information these days.
